    摘要: A scenario aware perception system (10) suitable for use on an automated vehicle includes a traffic-scenario detector (14), an object-detection device (24), and a controller (32). The traffic-scenario detector (14) is used to detect a present-scenario (16) experienced by a host-vehicle (12). The object-detection device (24) is used to detect an object (26) proximate to the host-vehicle (12). The controller (32) is in communication with the traffic-scenario detector (14) and the object-detection device (24). The controller (32) configured to determine a preferred-algorithm (36) used to identify the object (26). The preferred-algorithm (36) is determined based on the present-scenario (16).

    摘要: An electrical connector includes a first-housing, a second-housing, and a connector-position-assurance (CPA) device. The first-housing has two parallel actuation-ribs extending from an outer-surface of the first-housing. The actuation-ribs are aligned parallel to a longitudinal mating-axis of the electrical connector. The second-housing is configured to mate with the first-housing and includes two opposing lugs projecting from a top-surface of the second-housing. The CPA device is slideably mounted to the second-housing and is moveable from a pre-stage-position to a latched-position. The CPA device includes two parallel latching-arms that engage the lugs. The latching-arms are in a relaxed-state when in the pre-stage-position. The actuation-ribs disengage the latching-arms from the lugs when the first-housing is mated with the second-housing. This enables the CPA device to be moved from the pre-stage-position to the latched-position. The latching-arms return to the relaxed-state when in the CPA device is in the latched-position.

    摘要: A method for lane detection for a camera-based driver assistance system includes the following steps: image regions in images that are recorded by a camera are identified as detected lane markings if the image regions meet a specified detection criterion. At least two detected lane markings are subjected to a tracking process as lane markings to be tracked. By means of a recursive state estimator, separate progressions are estimated for at least two of the lane markings to be tracked. Furthermore, for each of a plurality of the detected lane markings, a particular offset value is determined, which indicates a transverse offset of the detected lane marking in relation to a reference axis. By means of an additional estimation method, the determined offset values are each associated with one of the separate progressions of the lane markings to be tracked.

    摘要: A connector includes a first-housing and a second-housing. The first-housing includes a connector-lock. The second-housing is configured to receive the first-housing and includes a connector-latch configured to removably retain the connector-lock when the first-housing is mated with the second-housing. The second-housing includes a connector-position-assurance (CPA)-device slidably mounted to the second-housing and movable from a disengaged-position to an engaged-position. The CPA-device applies a retention-force to the connector-latch. The retention-force deflects the connector-latch thereby applying the retention-force to the first-housing when the first-housing is mated with the second-housing and the CPA-device is in the engaged-position.

    摘要: A braking system suitable for use on an automated vehicle includes a ranging-sensor, a braking-actuator, and a controller. The ranging-sensor detects reflections indicative of objects present in a field-of-view proximate to a host-vehicle. The braking-actuator controls movement of the host-vehicle. The controller is in communication with the ranging-sensor and the braking-actuator. The controller determines a region-of-interest within the field-of-view and defines an occupancy-grid that segregates the field-of-view into an array of grid-cells. The controller further determines a repeatability-of-detection of each of the grid-cells based on reflections detected by the ranging-sensor. The controller further determines that a rigid-object is present in the field-of-view when each of a string of the grid-cells are characterized by the repeatability-of-detection greater than a repeatability-threshold. The controller activates the braking-actuator when the string intersects the region-of-interest.
